God Said No
Dan Bern


Capo II

       D                  A
I met God On the edge of town
                           Bm                                    G 
Where the wind meets the stillness, Where the darkness meets the light 
                           D                               A 
Where the ocean meets the sky, Where the desert meets the rain
                           Bm                      G          D   A   Bm  G    
Where the earth meets the heavens, on the edge of town I met God

I asked God Do one thing for me 
Send me back in time, send me to Seattle 
Let me go find Kurt Cobain 
Take away his gun, take away his bullets 
Talk to him, make him wanna live 
Tell him how we love him, help him see his glory
God Said No, if I sent you back 
If you really found him you would only ask him 
If he could help you get a deal 
If he knows a lawyer if he can help you ... God Said No

I asked God, do one thing for me 
Send me back in time, send me to Berlin 
Let me find the one they call Hitler 
I will stalk him, I will bring him down 
I will bring along a powerful gun 
Loaded with bullets, obliterate his memory 
God Said No, if I sent you back 
You would get caught up in theory and discussion 
You would let your fears delay and distract you
You would make friends, you would take a lover ... God Said No 

I asked God, do one thing for me 
Send me back in time, send me to Jerusalem 
Let me go, let me go find Jesus 
Let me save his life as they try to kill him 
Let me take him down, down from the cross 
Take the iron from his body, try to heal his wounds 
God Said No, if I let you go 
If you really found him walking with the cross
You would stare, your tongue no longer working 
Eyes no longer seeing, ears no longer hearing
God said Time, time belongs to me 
Time's my secret weapon, my final advantage 
God turned away from the edge of town 
I knew I was beaten, and that now was all I had ... God Said No
